nice numbers for a fairly stock setup. how much boost? get a dual alt. pulley!!

myersprostatus

iTrader: (2)

yeah, the next performance mods are gonna be a dual pulley, and an e-fan.
only about 10-12 pounds of boost. You can relaly feel when the turbo starts boostin. pulls like crazy. Who needs power steering the car isnt even hard to steer without it.

just doing straight lines in my neighborhood it would chirp and sometimes even burnout when i would shift into second.

the moment of the day was driving by some kids my age messing around with there early 90s super riced out integra. I went by and let my BOV go off right next to them then i turned around and did it again. They proceeded to all jump into the rice mobile and follow me reving their engine, they tried tailgating but no way they could keep up.

can we get some video of you reving the car..... i want to hear the exhaust at higher rpm, it sounds really good.

iTrader: (2)

yeah sure, tommorow i dont have work, so ill get some vids of me doing a 1st to 3rd gear run down my street, you can hear the BOV and the exhaust.

the exhaust sounds really really good, its full racing beat back to apexi n1s. Im damn happy with the tone that comes from it, not to loud but def not to quiet :p. i set a couple car alarms off when crusing. ive gotten nothing but good compliments about the exhaust

wow man nice. the car looks sweet. i just finished my big build, only right before snow fall so i know what its like. feels so damn good to get it going. i waited 2 yrs and 6 months. but you car looks sweet and sounds sick. congrats!

iTrader: (2)

thanks alot 10ae. grats on your build as well. 2 years o waiting, damn must look purty .

I have one problem though, Everytime i gun it when i shift second the car breaks loose, does a big fishtail. i mean it looks cool, but i lose alot of speed when doing so. is this due to the N/a drivetrain or what?

lol i tried taking a vid of the car in action today, but since my car isnt registered i cant relaly take anywhere far, so ive mostly been putting around neighborhoods.
soon, after a couple paychecks and some "special" smogging i will venture to the streets and blow my old tires off the wheels

Sounds great! How much of a pain in the *** was the S5 swap?

iTrader: (5)

In one of the build threads floating around they swapped the TII throttle cable for an NA one so it didn't wind all around the engine bay.

iTrader: (2)

A huge pain in the ***!!! well when i was trying to use the stock computer at least. BUt when i went stand alone, it wasnt that bad. def worth the swap. The s5 turbo boosts niceley.

iTrader: (3)

i think thats due to the fact that the drivetrain is trying to catch up to the engine speed and cause its not a smooth transition it grabs harder that it should. could also be a heavy duty clutch if you have one. and maybe wider wheels would help
thats what i think i could be. maybe an lsd problem? one wheel grabbing as oppose to both too.

myersprostatus

iTrader: (2)

yeah im def gonna get the turbo rear end, i hear its way worth it.
im getting some wheels and tires very soon, i suspect this will drastically help with the traction when mobbing down a street.

Definitely a nice looking improvement.

thanks man, it feels great to actually have a car to drive around and show people. Alot of people around my area/freinds knew about the build, but they thought i was all talk, untill they finally saw it.

After a couple of test drives all of them fell in love with rx7s, It feels good to recieve all of the congrats on my finished product, now i just gotta get her lookin pretty from the inside out .
